POC Acceleration

Overview

The WorkloadWisdom solution for POC Acceleration provides storage vendors with critical missing performance data from their production application workloads. Having this data results in faster POCs, which results in faster sales cycles.

Decrease the sales cycles by using WorkloadWisdom

Figures: Vendor A demonstrates ~2Gbps (blue) with very few packets (green) showing the scalability & efficiency under load using a real-world mix. In the graph at the right, vendor B demonstrates ~1.2 Mbps (blue) with many packets (green), showing a LACK of scalability & efficiency under load using a real-world workload mix.

Vendors and IT organizations waste massive resources and still don’t have the data needed to make informed decisions

Difficulty in customers finding appropriate host/server equipment for the POC. They must configure the environment, set up and run a test, collect the results, analyze them, and draw conclusions. This results in multi-month delays in the sales cycle.

Most customers don’t have efficient testing tools. They don’t have confidence in the results and risk performance ‘blind spots’.

If customers do have tools, they offer limited guidance for determining the I/O profile for a specific application workload. And they don’t simulate actual production workloads (e.g. no metadata commands).

Customers don’t have time to dedicate to POC testing.

Solutions

Load DynamiX is an expert at conducting POCs at both the request of vendors and of end users. We know which tests to run that will accurately emulate the customer’s production workloads. They prove the performance capabilities and scalability of your storage systems, especially flash and hybrid storage products.

We help you:

Characterize workloads the customer deems as representative of their environment
